Another four pages of script today. I'm amazed every day at how much fun I'm having. I thought hard work was supposed to be "hard". I guess its alright that I'm actually enjoying myself. I don't care if its not okay. I'm going to have fun anyway. It seems to get easier every day. I look forward to sitting down in front of the computer and learning about what happens next. Even though I have the story structure worked out from beginning to end it's interesting to see these characters come to life on the page as I add some meat to the bones. Another cool part of writing is what I loved about movies and reading to begin with - escape. I look at art as a peek into real parallel worlds already in existence. Its up to the artist, be it painter, filmmaker or sculptor to tap into that world and report on his or her experience of that world for others to see and enjoy.

I heard from the PM for 49th and Main, the show I applied to be Producer's Assistant on, and they've gone with someone who has more experience with script clearance. Here's a brief article form BBC on clearances and why they're necessary. That's fine. I'm happy that I made the contacts I did. I will definitely use them.

I applied for another of these gigs today. This one is a little more up my alley as it is for that of a Director's Assistant. I've already sent my résumé and a snazzy note expressing my interest in the job. Looks as though there's some travel involved. That could be fun. I'll keep you posted. We could really use the money right now (I'm still waiting for a cheque from Smallville. I called today. Apparently its in the mail. LOL!) and I'd love to gain some experience with an established director.

Oh and apparently someone from Paramount Pictures advertising firm has taken note of my blog and emailed me wanting to send me promotional materials for the upcoming hilarious looking Nacho Libre (doesn't that mean free cheese?) starring the whacky Jack Black and directed by Jared Hess of Napolean Dynamite fame. Cool! I'll take some free stuff and write about it. No problemmo!

Anyhoo, that's it for today. More tomorrow.

Sorry if this seems at all self serving to any of you. Honestly, it is. It helps to keep me working and honest.
